Rennes was the Grandmaster of the School of the Wolf during the period when the school was funded by the Kaedwenian crown alongside the School of the Cat.[1]
Biography[]
During the time when both the Wolf and Cat Schools were receiving financial support from King Radowit II, the king ordered an exchange of students between the two schools, followed by an examination in the form of a tournament to determine which school would continue to receive funding. Rennes reluctantly complied with the order, despite his reservations due to the philosophical differences between the two schools.
Before the tournament, Rennes and the leader of the Cat School, Treyse, were summoned by Kaedwenian soldiers to investigate a murder scene. At the site, accusations were leveled against the witchers when two Wolf School medallions were discovered near the victim, suggesting witcher involvement.
On his way back to the Wolf camp, Rennes brooded over the situation, placing blame on Vesemir for failing to keep the students disciplined and thus potentially causing trouble. Rennes had hoped that the Wolf School's victory in the tournament would secure him a prestigious position at the king's court, perhaps even as a fencing instructor for the royal children. However, upon reaching the camp, he angrily told Vesemir that, if necessary, they would sacrifice both the students and the school itself to secure their future.
On the day of the tournament, events proceeded as planned until the moment when the Cat School witchers sprang their trap, subduing the Wolf witchers to prepare them for execution by Kaedwenian soldiers. Unbeknownst to the Cats, King Radowit II had secretly intended to eliminate all witchers present. In the ensuing betrayal, Rennes was killed alongside both the Cat and Wolf witchers. Only Geralt of Rivia managed to survive the massacre.[1]
